Chapter Four: Heart of Purple

"I did it!" Karen said triumphantly back at the Karen-Cave. "I have single-handedly brought Lyss and Doctor closer together!" Ann glared at her. Karen sighed. "Fine. We did it." More glaring. "Um…you and I did it?"

"We didn't do anything!" Ann corrected. "All that happped was that Lyss almost killed herself today and went to the Clinic to buy medicine! That's it!"

"Stop shouting!" Karen hissed. "My parents will here you!" Ann rolled her eyes. "Anyway," Karen continued, "Tomorrow we need to go back to the Clinic."

"WHAT!?" Ann shouted. "Why?"

Karen stuck a finger in one ear. "Because, Noisy Parkinson, we didn't find anything out! We need to keep going back until we can give Lyss enough information!"

"Fine," Ann growled. "But you owe me big time. No more wine at three in the morning."

"WHAT?!" Karen shouted hypocritically. Ann glared. Karen sighed. "You are a sick and evil bitch, but okay. Now, let Step One commence again!"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And so it did. However, Ann and Karen were spying on Doctor for many days, but all they found out was that Manna had laryngitis and should refrain from speaking (a blessing in disguise), Basil had an ear infection, and Jeff had a strange-looking nub at the base of his spine (both girls were severely disturbed by this, and couldn't sleep for two days). Then, on the morning of Fall 6, Alyssa once again walked into the Clinic. "Hi, Doctor! Hi, Elli!" she said cheerfully.

"Hello, Alyssa," Doctor replied. "Are you here for a check-up?"

"No, just to say hi."

"I see. By the way, the other day I received a stronger brand of medicine, and seeing that you are the hardest-working person in town, I'd like you to try it." He smiled weakly. "Like last time, it has a…indescribable flavor."

Alyssa gulped. "Sure," she said uncertainly. Doctor's face lit up as he handed the bottle to her.

Karen groaned softly. "Again with the medicine. Can't Doctor stop using by best friend as a guinea pig? If she sprouts tentacles, I'm gonna…HOLY SHIT!" Karen watched in horror as Alyssa slumped to the floor, out cold.

"Alyssa!" Doctor shouted, terrified. "Elli! ELLI! Come here now!"

"Coming, Doctor!" Elli answered, rushing over.

Karen couldn't stand it anymore. She dropped to the floor and rushed to Alyssa's side. Ann rushed out behind the sofa. "Stand back, everyone!" Karen ordered, and pulled a bottle of wine from her backpack. "Must…hurry," she said, and uncorked the bottle. She took a long drink and sighed. "Much better."

"Oh, give me that!" Ann snapped, holding the bottle under Alyssa's nose. The fumes clawed their way up to her brain, and Alyssa coughed, opening her eyes.

"Huzzah!" Karen shouted. "She lives!"

"Ungh," Alyssa mumbled. "What the hell just happened?"

"You passed out after drinking that medicine," Elli explained.

"How could you?" Ann scolded Doctor.

"I'm so sorry," Doctor said, hanging his head. "I should have known it would be too strong."

"Don't worry about it," Alyssa reassured. She turned to Karen and Ann. "What are you guys doing here anyway?"

Ann and Karen exchanged a glance. "Um…ABORT MISSION!" Karen shouted, and the two raced off, leaving Alyssa, Elli, and Doctor wondering what those lunatics were up to.
